Job Summary
Job Description:
At Airbus UpNext we fly future technologies at speeds well beyond what seems feasible today. Were looking for passionate individuals to join a new demonstrator project that is shaping the future of sustainable aviation by advancing the aircraft electrification roadmap.
This project will focus on the challenges and opportunities of High Voltage Electrical Systems which are essential for next-generation low-emission aircraft part of Airbus ambition to electrify the skies.
As part of a fast-paced agile team you will help create a unique state-of-the-art test facility from the ground up. Your mission will be to explore novel HV technologies at their limits and beyond generating invaluable data and learnings needed to build the robust and reliable aircraft of tomorrow by safely testing the unsafe.
If you have a burning desire to make an impact and want to work in a startup-like environment backed by the strength of Airbus this is your opportunity to help us decarbonize the aerospace industry .
The Electrical Integration & EMC Engineer position is within Airbus UpNext Spain and it consists of a short term contract linked to the deliverable of the demonstrator (estimated completion date April - 2028) starting ASAP in Getafe.
Mission:
Reporting to the Technical Director and collaborating closely with the E2E Bench Manager you will serve as the dedicated internal technical authority for the detailed electrical integration and harness design of our state-of-the-art laboratory test bench. Given the highly specialized High Voltage for Aeronautics (HV) environment of this facility you will secure full technical baseline control over electrical wiring grounding shielding and electromagnetic containment.
Your Main Responsibilities:
Detailed Bench Integration: Own the execution and detailed engineering definitions for the electrical integration of the ground power test facility.
Grounding Topologies: Conceptualize and design specialized earthing and grounding network topologies tailored for high-power laboratories.
Shielding & Blindage Management: Drive selection criteria and determine the proper termination methods for cable shielding to secure optimal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Routing & Segregation: Define precise harness layouts and physical routing constraints to guarantee strict segregation between power and signal lines successfully eliminating capacitive and inductive coupling risks.
Environmental Chamber Interconnections: Specify specialized connectors and dielectric feedthroughs capable of maintaining 360 continuous shielding insulation and structural tightness under high-altitude low pressure and extreme thermal fluctuations inside the test cells.
Manufacturing Oversight: Directly supervise the assembly wiring manufacturing and final mounting operations of the laboratorys test bench electrical installation
The responsibilities and the technical scope of the job might evolve according to the agile working environment of the project so being flexible is important.
Your boarding pass
What you bring:
Master Degree in Electrical Engineering. Extensive experience in Electrical Integration and Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS).
Strong specialization in electrical harness routing segregation techniques and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC/EMI) protections.
Direct experience handling high-power electrical testing equipment heavy-gauge cabling setups or specialized high-voltage for aeronautics infrastructure.
Proven track record in specifying specialized connectors hermetic feedthroughs or shielding terminations for vacuum or high-altitude simulation chambers.
Technical capability to steer external electrical suppliers and oversee factory/on-site assembly activities.
Strong English communication skills. Spanish is a valuable asset.
Autonomy adaptation capacity and eagerness to propose simplified rapid engineering solutions in an agile environment.
Values of transparency humility & empathy. Autonomy adaptability availability & accountability. Readiness to step out of your comfort zone. Willingness to have fun.
What you get:
Pivotal Role in a Strategic Mission: play a key part in a project at the forefront of aircraft electrification contributing to Airbuss decarbonization roadmap.
Build Something that last: Your work will create a high-value asset and learning contribution for Airbuss future.
Develop Critical Competences: Acquire and develop a sound background in High Voltage systems and technologies a field essential for the future of aerospace. This experience can provide a unique career development opportunity within Airbus.
Work on the Edge of Technology: Explore disruptive technologies at their limits deepening your knowledge of complex phenomena like arc-flash events and the effects of high-altitude conditions on electrical systems.
Agile and Empowering Environment: Thrive in a work culture that empowers you to act and think like a start-up while being supported by the strong expertise of Airbus. We value an eagerness to take initiative and propose efficient ways of working.
A Great Team and Culture: Be part of a high-achieving experienced and fun team in a shared open-space office with highly skilled colleagues. We are guided by the Care for Each Other value.
Flexibility & Fun: Enjoy the ability to craft your calendar with flexible hours and the opportunity to work remotely alongside regular UpNext community bonding events. And yes we have complimentary freshly ground coffe and beverages
